I was reading through a link that was supplied on the Insider's Thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...#post12650643), and noticed that Lee Stewart made a comment that 1080i is better than 1080p.

Right.

Badboi asked him to provide links proving the comment.

Naturally, not to be shown up, Lee Stewart gives a few links:

The sad thing is, in the first link, the conclusion to the "which is better" debate is:

Conclusions

Well, the assumed purpose of us on the web is to collect and pass on information - facts and opinions. In fact, 1080p does matter. We all need it, so in our opinion, you should be concerned. This is our attempt to convey that message.

Of course, you don't need to have a 1080p display to have a great image. In fact, we're happy to concede that in most cases, with most material, there are many variables, starting from basic calibration, the environment (your room), yada yada, that are far more important than having a real 1080p display. In fact, most of us don't own a 1080p display for reasons of price and the move of the technology curve, first generation issues, etc. But, the point remains, if we narrow down the issue to a single parameter, that of resolution, aside from possible future displays that are integer multiples of 1920 x 1080 (serving to diminish pixel structure and improve the performance of scaled image output from lower resolution formats), 1080p is king, period.

It's obvious the idiot doesn't read what it is he posts. I swear to God he must just google for key phrases, post them, and hten assume that no one reads the trash he posts.

Badboi, I know you read this forum as well, and thought you may get a kick out of it - I'd post on AVS, but I don't have an account.

Any how, enjoy.
